So, I just walked through five miles of blizzard to get this game, only to find that I needed an ID to buy it. Luckily, some people helped me get one, so I'll have the review up sometime this week hopefully.

Jesus Ober it came out two days ago.

School days, at that.

I can't remember the fastest I've ever beaten a game. I was to say Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and even that took like 4 days lol. Props.

I beat Mirror's Edge within 2 days, but that game was short and it was summer.

Most games I play tend to be RPGs though.

Yeah, ME is short but sweet. Your RPG comment leads to an even better question: the longest it's ever taken to beat a game, either by choice or difficulty. I got up to 480 hours on Pokemon Silver before deciding to fight the final bosses because I fvcking love breeding pokemon lol. It's a sickness, really. Maybe pokephilia.

I haven't played Pokemon Gold/Silver in a long while. That really was my favorite one though.

I most I can think of would be Fallout 3. I think I put over 150 hours in that one.

Give us a taste. Great game or the greatest game?

I would rank it with or higher than HL2. That good.

Assuming you EXPLORE and TAKE YOUR TIME.

This game is about savoring, not finishing.

First time I was legitimately sad I finished a game.

Damn, son. Definitely gotta check this out. It looks mind-blowing.

I can't really tell why its so good. It just combines everything so perfectly.

It reminds me of HL2 a lot actually, but more of a 1912 sorta tone. Like, old-timey.

And Elizabeth and Booker have some of the best voice acting I've ever seen. The whole cast is great though.

The combat is a "choose-your-own-style-" approach, which is great, and combine that with the skylines and the occasional mini-boss or airship, and its just plain incredible.

The locations are VERY well done, each varied yet similar, and they really press the "A pictures worth a thousand words" idea. I recommend if you get it to take your time, and read all the signs, listen to all the audio logs, reload sequences to try out new tactics.

One big thing I should stress is to save you money up for the first few hours. Once you get most of the guns unlocked and Vigors, and you get a good idea what you like, then spend some. You often get a lot back if you explore abut halfway through the game anyways. And choose your two weapons wisely.
